Need the exact dose for your patient?
These ranges are per kg. Enter your goat's weight to get the precise dose and draw-up volume — unit and concentration math done for you.
Inhibits electron transport in mitochondria of coccidia, blocking sporozoite development and early schizogony.
Feed additive only. Not for therapeutic treatment of clinical coccidiosis. Must be fed continuously for prevention.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for goat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Decoquinate pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in goat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
